Friday night in the Robson Valley
Well, it’s been a few days. Part of the trouble is that our Internet connection has been so poor. I complained politely to our server guy, and he actually LIED to me about some past changes he’d made (which instead of improvement, had resulted in a failure of our signal at the time). I’m very frustrated and about “THIS CLOSE” to going back to Telus and DIAL-UP connection again. At least it was reliable and you don’t usually get a curt, condescending LIAR on the phone if you have a legitimate complaint!
On Monday, I received fourteen boxes of perennial bare roots and baby plants. I just stand at the door of my grooming shop, where the opened boxes and SOME potted plants and packages are, and think “Oh WHAT have you done, Ann???” I’m overwhelmed. I got just the minimum number of each of the plants that I thought the public might ask for, or that I took a fancy to (for myself), but it added up to almost 800 plants, roots, and packages! I know that many folks in the valley look forward to my efforts in this garden business (whether they come to my sales at the house, or just to the Farmer’s Markets. So I will report back here about the situation.
Gradually, I will get the potting situation under control. This week, I also had quite a few dogs and one cat to groom. It’s all good!! Even though all of the dogs that were boarding during Easter and Spring Break have gone home, new ones have come.
I’m too tired to write more now. I’ll try to add a little tomorrow. Sorry to anyone who visits this blog regularly; I’ll also try to get the camera out again!
